ABOUT US﻿﻿

In 2011, we set out to create a brand paying tribute to the life and spirit of our good buddy Matt Butler. It was Matt’s dream to travel the states in his old red Chevy van seeking good music, beautiful artwork and the adventure of a lifetime. Unfortunately, Lupus claimed our friend and his road trip never happened. So there we started and here we are. But a spirit like Matt’s can’t be dimmed. It only shines its light in a different place….in the beckoning, foamy crash of waves, the harmonica’s wafting tune over the last logs’ embers, or the chilly rush of adrenaline on the mountain’s peak. Our ultimate goal was to create a like-minded community of individuals who share Passion. We want to bring together people who share Matt’s adventurous spirit and fuse our passion with yours, whether it be for music, art, surf, or the Indian Rain Dance because in the end, it’s a passion for Life. And that my friends, is best taken in Slow Wide Turns.

Please check out our blog! It’s where we come together and share our cool stories and adventures with you dear readers. We feature talented musicians, artists, surfers and adventure seekers doing their thing. It’s our metaphorical bread and butter and your chance to tailgate along!

Because Slow Wide Turns was inspired by the courageous, life-loving spirit of Matt, we have partnered with the Lupus Foundation of America to help support people like our friend and their families. A portion of our annual proceeds will be donated to help solve the cruel mystery of Lupus.

The Slow Wide Turns brand resulted from a bi-regional collaboration between us: Scott Anderson and Chad Woody. Our project and apparel line debuted through the crowd funding web phenomenon ‘Kickstarter’ back in 2014. After raising over 10K through Kickstarter, we realized how important our vision became for our friends, families, and supporters. We want to extend our deep appreciation and gratitude to all who helped guide our efforts to create Slow Wide Turns. Without you and your continued support our dreams would just be dreams. And sitting around dreaming just isn’t our style. We’d rather be out living and loving and surfing, taking it all in Slow Wide Turns. We're becoming what we do and we hope you’ll join us. Thank You!
